WV Mike, Hi, just enabled email address. Thank you. Look forward to the names you have for me. Thank you very much!...
Over the course of many years with Lyme disease, I have learned one thing: it always comes back. For me, at least. I have been on multiple abx regimens for lengthy periods of time, Multiple herbal...
My daughter and I both had a stomach bug at the same time you began getting stomack upset. I took Welchol (2) with dach meal for about 3 days and it got better. A naturopath said I could take...
I have used red root & I herxed from it. Start small on this. Also, if you have or have had a blood clot, do not use red root. Instead, look into Salvia Miltorhizza or Poke Root. Calendula, also....
lymecrazed- please update on your Black Cumin Seed tx....
What is the recommended dosage of Andrographis tincture per Buhner's Healing Lyme book? ** This is a continuation from the old post 'Buhner and Andrographis'....
Will move this into it's own post under ' Andrographis dosage'...
I started andrographis 3 weeks ago and have seen my greatest improvements since adding it! I have actually exercised this week! I never thought that would happen again. The Andrographis has had the...
What is the recommended dosage of Andrographis tincture per Buhner's Healing Lyme book?...
Your eye pain & not being able to hold your head up cause me great concern. These sound like Lyme Sx. Tell me about any possible contact with ticks, or gardening, hiking, etc., possible moments of...
Thank you for adding that, Traveler. It is an important point to make. I believe Fibromyalgia is a real disease/syndrome that is separate from Lyme, and sometimes caused by Lyme or viruses, etc. I...
I don't think all Fibro cases are lyme cases, either. Did someone say that?...
A red rash across the nose sounds like Lupus. Please look up Lupus rashes; there is a lupus rash specific to across the bridge of the nose. You may have been misdx'd w/ Fibromyalgia OR You may have...
I agree with you, astroman. gregkdc also made some very interesting points regarding other atypical coinfections & the power of probiotics. Very interesting. I don't think they have answers as to why...
I saw another highly credited rheumatologist yesterday & after hearing most of my history from my teen years until now dx'd me with Fibromyalgia. I didn't take him seriously at all, even laughed...
Jasp- My vision was severely affected, too. It took a very long time for that to right itself. I still have movement in my eyelids- I feel them moving around. Like the juice you drink: Lately, I have...
I think the order is: sludge, stones, attacks. I think. It is very good for you to keep a close eye on things. My earliest sx were a squeezing between my chest....
There are many, many herbals that will help. We are fortunate enough the Buhner has narrowed a good grouping down for us to start with. He really is a very intelligent man. Looking forward to his...
Rowingmom- for your mom's arthritis pain, Peppermint Oil is much cheaper & really cools inflammation; like an ice pack. I use now brand Organic Peppermint Oil in 1 oz bottle. You can buy it on...
Was your galby ever tested for sludge pre-lyme? That would be very valuable info. Was there sludge there before? I've been told sludge isn't a big deal, even gall stones haven't been a reason to stop...
I have had to halt tx until severe herxes subsided. The last thing you want to do is further damage your body by increasing the herxheimer reaction. It's ok if you have a break until it's over....
Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections: Anaplasma, Babesia, and Ehrlichia...
No. I haven't done Raindrop. I would try it if I knew someone else as infected as myself did it & had a good result. I am worried will send me into a massaive herx, as I am loaded with bacterials,...
This drug crushed me. Would never take again. This has been my experience. If you do a search, I have responded to this before....
What protocol did you use or how did you find your way around treating the parasites with oils? I know some people who used droppers to put the oils in capsules, then swallowed them. You never felt...
I was on entire protocols. It just didn't cure me & I would fall back and have to start all over again. I still use his supportive herbals - they are wonderful & artemisinin for now. I have a few...
I am sitting here w/ helichrysum italicum oil on my face right now to aid in the horrible head herxing I get from treatment. It stops the i flammation on contact. I've recently added Tea tree oil on...
Jasp- good work trying to explain such an incredible amount of information in such a short reply. I was hoping the link I added in my post would help. It really involves a lot of detailed...
Yes, I was doing abx & all Buhner's Lyme, Babs & Bart herbals. I coyldn't believe after 1 full year of all of them together, I was still suffering so much. Enter IV Rocephin. I noticed improvements...
Why do you think sal milt is slow going for you? I never took more than 1/3-1\2 dropper of it. Are we supposed to take more than that? I was severely infected May 2013. Wheelchair bound. Given Doxy...
What dose will you titrate the salvia milt up to? Are you taking red root, too? When I started the herbals (all tinctures) back in Dec 2013, I used a system of 1/4 dropper to start, then increased by...
I think I am herxing from the addition of Schisandra Berry tincture today. I added about 10 drops @ 3x daily yesterday & I think I am herxing today. I did increase Artemisinin from 3 drops to 4 drops...
Has this rash site increased in size? If it increases in size, I'd be very concerned. You are smart to post the pic & start asking questions now. Mine started as a very small circular rash that...
This will be long as I need to include the entire email from the person who shared it with me. Her brother was dx & treated w/ abx first, then he started EO protocol from doterra. Then, she tested +...
I was given a protocol for doTerra EOs for Lyme. Yes, they are ingested. I will post it, but it is really long. I will wait to see if anyone wants me to post it first, though. Please let me know....
I agree w/ rowingmom in regards to an anti-inflammatory diet. This really helps. Rowing-helichrysum from Corsica is a godsend- stops the pain on contact! I forgot to mention rx Doxipen in low dosage....
Boswellia is Frankincense. Best help for Neuro- Pain: Helichrysum Italicum Essential Oil from Corsica, France (Yes, the location really matters.) It is expensive, but it works. I've also used...
Yes, I have found L-Lysine works as an anti- viral. I am also NOT able to take l- arginine or eat foods rich in arginine or else I become a viral magnet. Every time. I was seeing Buhner's cohort for...
How do I decide which herb to start first, second, third, etc? Thank you very much for your advice!...
I have had a much different experience with Plaquenil. It floored me. On Day 1, I felt flu- like & tired. On Day 2, I couldn't even get out of bed. After going into another 3rd bed-ridden day, I...
Has anyone gotten full recovery from ingesting essential oils? I know there are protocols by Young Living, doTeRRa, etc., via essential oils ingestion. I've heard from people on the forums having...
Hi, please post Buhner's newest (2015) Babesia Protocol. Thank you...
Thank you very much!...
With the ELISA test, how long does it take for the results to come back? I thought it was only a day or two....but I need to double check....
Your husband needs a new doctor. Please help him find a new doctor, as this one is very incompetent. Since I received my positive Lyme test, I have had to go through many doctors b/c they didn't...
Some other heath conditions can be aggravated by anti-malarial/babs meds. Lupus & certain types of arthritis, for example. What other auto-immune issues that you are dealing with? Have you had your...
Purple- have you been dx for Raynaud's? Has it gotten better with a type of tx, or just on its own?...
IHL, I have the same Lyme doc as you. He mentioned the MCAD thing to me, too, but I don't believe I have it. The best thing that ever happened to me treatment-wise (and sure I was scared, it's only...
Raynaud's Syndrome...
Thank you everyone. This information helps very much. I will go back on the Lyme tx and see what happens. I really value all of your opinions and points of view. I feel much stronger in my direction...
